Why does the wikipedia link show a page for July 20th (it's July 25th)? Come on wikipedia! :-)
@andrewn huh! Looks like they might've renamed it to "Selected Anniversaries" and July 20th was the last entry?! very annoying
Looks they've switched the Main_Page to transclude from a URL like:
{{Wikipedia:Selected anniversaries/{{#time:F j}}}}sorta fixed now. including too much content! All events, births & deaths on that date. I only want Events but having trouble getting Cheerio to behave and ran out of time :)
